fglrx: Out of memory when allocating device heads
Hello
i guess this is no new issue, but even after some extensive websearch i couldn't find a comprehensive answer as to what i've to do to get it running.
After some over-due update, X stopped working on my laptop.
* Thinkpad T60 with ATI FireGL X1300
* Debian testing/unstable
* xorg-server 1.6.1.901 Build Date: 14 May 2009 05:49:41PM
* fglrx 8.56.4 [Dec 1 2008]
Some tests revealed the following 2 issues:
(1) #root: modprobe fglrx

I should note that i use this laptop for production, on travel, and need fast graphic rendering, and i'd be happy to have a full OpenGL running...also, to run google earth, which for me is most useful especially on travel. But if nothing helps i'd be satisfied at least to have any X at all.
Any suggestions ?
tia,
Micha
